SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 572,574, datedDecember 8, 1896. Application filed July 6,1896. Serial No. 598,070. (Nomodel.)

1' 0 all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known thatI, CHARLES W. Soorr, J r. a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Stockton, in the county of Camden and State of NewJersey, have invented a new and useful Knockdown Racking-Stand forBarrels, of which the following is a specification.

On reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, making part of thisspecification, Figure 1 is a side elevation. The stand is shown insection and the barrel in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is an end elevation ofthe stand and barrel, and Fig. 3 is aside elevation of the stand knockeddown.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.

A is a collapsing or knockdown liquor rackstand; B, the ends of saidstand composed of the legs a, which are connected by parallel strips orbraces b, fastened to their opposite sides for forming an interveningspace 0.

C is a removable brace extending between the ends B and bearing inopenings d for keeping the sides stiff and braced apart.

D is a divided brace having its ends hinged to the ends B at e andhinged at f, its division, so that it can double on itself, as shown atFig. 3.

In the space 0, formed by the strips 1) of the ends 13, areinwardly-beveled antifrictionwheels E 011 journals gin bearings of saidends.

F, dotted lines, is a barrel on the wheels E.

In operation the barrel F, as shown, is carried on the wheels E, theinclination of which prevents it from rolling oif lengthwise or slid- 35 ing off endwise, while at the same time it can be rotated with easeand its contents racked out, after which the stand can be knocked downby withdrawing the removable brace O, doubling up the hinged dividedbrace D, and 40 closing together the ends B.

I claim-- 1. In a knockdown racking-stand, the combination of open-spaceends, divided hinged brace, and inclined antifriction barrel-carryingwheels, as shown and described.

2. In a knockdown racking-stand, the combination of open-space ends,removable brace, divided hinged brace, and inclined antifrictionbarrel-carrying Wheels, as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
